thepoliticalpartygirl: A new poll released by Politico and George Washington University illustrates the overwhelming presence and favorability of conservative commentators. 49% of respondents thought Bill O’Reilly has a “positive impact on political discourse.” Glenn Beck came in second with 38%, followed by Rush Limbaugh at 36%. In contrast, liberal commentators fell to the bottom half of the spectrum, Jon Stewart leading the pack with 34% of respondents saying he has a positive impact on political discourse. 42% of those polled had never heard of Keith Olbermann; 55% had never heard of Rachel Maddow.
